• The part number (N° Art.) and serial number (N° Ser.) of the tank are indicated on its rating plate and must be provided to ACV in case of warranty claim. Failure to do so will make the claim void.
USER'S GUIDE CONTROL PANEL Key : 1. Control thermostat [60/90°C] - to set the domestic hot water (DHW) temperature. 2. Manual reset high limit thermostat - to restart the tank after overheating of the primary circuit. 3. Connection plug - to connect the electrical power supply. Thermometer - indicates the temperature of the DHW.

STARTING UP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS TO FILL THE TANK Essential instructions for the safety of persons and the environment • The DHW tank must always be filled and pressurised before filling and pressurising the primary circuit. • Do not use vehicle antifreeze. This can cause serious injury or death, or damage facilities.
STARTING UP FILLING Essential instructions for the correct operation of the installation • The DHW tank must always be filled and pressurised before filling and pressurising the primary circuit. FILLING THE DHW TANK (Figure 1) General remark • Connect the safety valve outlet to the sewer. To fill the tank, open a hot water tap (2) located at the highest point of the installation.

STARTING UP CHECKS BEFORE STARTING UP • Check that the safety valves (DHW and primary) are correctly installed and that the outlets are connected to the sewer. • Check that the DHW tank and the primary circuit are filled with water. •...
MAINTENANCE PERIODIC CHECKS BY THE USER • Check the pressure of the primary circuit pressure gauge: it should be between 0.5 and 1.5 bar. • Visually inspect, on a regular basis, the valves, connections and accessories in order to detect any leaks or malfunction.
MAINTENANCE DRAINING Essential instructions for the safety of persons and the environment • The water coming out of the drain valve is very hot and can cause very severe burns. Make sure the area around the hot water flow is clear of people. Essential instructions for the electrical safety •...
MAINTENANCE DRAINING THE DHW TANK (Figure 4) To drain the hot water heater’s DHW tank: Open fully the hot water tap (3) for at least 60 minutes to make sure the DHW tank has cooled down sufficiently. Close the filling valve (1) and the stop valve (4). Connect the drain valve (2) to the sewer using a flexible hose.
MAINTENANCE FAULT FINDING What to do if the domestic hot water is not heated anymore? Check the power supply, when the tank operates as electric DHW tank only (electrical resistance activated). Check the proper operation of the boiler and the control thermostat of the tank.
